THE IGNITED CENTER: PRESS RELEASE Grand Opening of the New Ignited youth center Highland, MI- Ignited is launching a brand new concept in this area; “The Ignited Center.” This 23,000 sq. ft. facility focuses on teens, and teen activities. As you enter the lobby, you are surrounded by bright red walls, straight ahead is a 3 sided rock wall that soars upward to 30 feet. On the ground floor are two basketball cages perfect for a game of three on three, a coffee café, and lounging area, all painted bright living colors, where you can grab a Latte, and hang out, play video games, visit the internet café, or the iPod listening stations to listen to your favorite music. Continue up the stairs to the mezzanine, and you will find pool tables, 8 flat screen HDTV video game stations, and a hydration station. You can then enter, “the Coliseum”, a stadium style auditorium that seats 500, and a stage with double doors large enough through which to drive a semi. The Ignited Center is located approximately 3 miles north of 59 on Hickory Ridge Rd at Cornerstone Church. Ignited has bus transportation available. Bus Routes April 26th kicks off the grand opening followed by every Wednesday night from 6:30pm – 8:45pm. Wednesday nights are completely free from charge. During the grand opening month there will be great give-a-ways such as Xbox 360’s, big events which will feature people like the world’s strongest man (pound for pound), Dennis Rodgers, and more. Ignited was created to reach out to the “outer city” kids, kids and teens that live in very rural areas who are limited by lack of activity and transportation. Our heart is to provide a safe environment where teens can come and have a blast as well as hear a positive message, learn how to make good decisions in the face of adversity, and find out more about God. We believe in the teens in this area and wanted to go above and beyond to communicate that. You can’t ask for the heart until you have offered your hand. We are extending our hand to every teen in the area to come and be a part of history at Ignited. Ignited is the youth ministry of Cornerstone Church. Jacob Ouellette is the youth pastor of Ignited and has been involved with youth work for 9 years. This is non-denominational in affiliation and welcomes all teens from all walks of life. |
